Exercise 12.1.1: Coin flips and events. About A coin is flipped four times. For each of the events described below, express the event as a set in roster notation. Each outcome is written as a string of length 4 from {H, T}, such as HHTH. Assuming the coin is a fair coin, give the probability of each event. (a) The first and last flips come up heads. (b) There are at least two consecutive flips that come up heads. (c) The first flip comes up tails and there are at least two consecutive flips that come up heads.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a [tex]Pr = 0.25[/tex]

b [tex]Pr = 0.50[/tex]

c [tex]Pr = 0.1875[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n = 4[/tex] --- number of times

[tex]r = 2[/tex] --- faces of a coin

First, is to determine the sample size.

This is calculated as:

[tex]Size =r^n[/tex]

[tex]Size =2^4[/tex]

[tex]Size =16[/tex]

Solving (a): First and last slip is head

This event is represented as:

[tex]E=\{HHHH, HHTH, HTHH, HTTH\}[/tex]

The probability is calculated as:

[tex]Pr = \frac{n(E)}{Size}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{4}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.25[/tex]

b) At least 2 consecutive flips that is heads.

This event is represented as:

[tex]E=\{HHHH,HHHT,HHTH,HHTT,THHH,THHT,HTHH,TTHH\}[/tex]

The probability is calculated as:

[tex]Pr = \frac{n(E)}{Size}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{8}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.50[/tex]

 

c) First is tail and at least 2 consecutive flips is head.

This event is represented as:

[tex]E=\{THHH,THHT,TTHH\}[/tex]

The probability is calculated as:

[tex]Pr = \frac{n(E)}{Size}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{3}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.1875[/tex]

The probability of being a universal donor is 6% (O-negative-blood type). Suppose that 6 people come to a blood drive.
a) What are the mean and standard deviation of the number of universal donors among the 6 people?
b) What is the probability that there are exactly three universal donors?

Answers

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:

a) The mean is of 0.36 and the standard deviation is of 0.58.

b) There is a 0.0036 = 0.36% probability that there are exactly three universal donors.

What is the binomial distribution formula?

The formula is:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.n is the number of trials.p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

The values of the parameters are given as follows:

n = 6, p = 0.06.

Item a:

E(X) = np = 6 x 0.06 = 0.36.[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{6 \times 0.06 \times 0.94} = 0.58[/tex]

The mean is of 0.36 and the standard deviation is of 0.58.

Item b:

The probability is P(X = 3), hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{6,3}.(0.06)^{3}.(0.94)^{3} = 0.0036[/tex]

There is a 0.0036 = 0.36% probability that there are exactly three universal donors.

Question: In the image below, the measure of angle 2 is 75°. Find the measures of angles 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

Answers

Answer:

1=105

3=105

4=75

5=105

6=75

7=105

8=75

Step-by-step explanation:

angles 1 and 2 are supplementary, this means that the sum of the two angles equals 180(they make a straight line).

This means that the cross of the two lines(p and m) will cause angles 1 and 3 to be the same (2 and 4 will also be the same).

lines m and n are parallel, which means that angles 1,2,3, and 4 will be that same as their corresponding angle in angles 5,6,7, and 8.

I hope that made sense.

84 is the answer I think

Answer:

a = 72 mm is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = ?

b = 21 mm

c = 75 mm

According to the Pythagoras theorem

a² + b² = c²

a² + 21² = 75²

a² + 441 = 5625

a² = 5625 - 441

a² = 5184

a = 72 mm

∴ a = 72 mm is the length of the missing leg.

x=16/9
hope this helped

Answer:

x=22/9

Step-by-step explanation:

4(3√(x-2))+1=9

4(3√(x-2))=8

3√(x-2)=2

√(x-2)=2/3

x-2=4/9

x=4/9+2

x=4/9+18/9

x=22/9

Therefore, the solution is x=22/9

Consider the function f(x) = 2 + 2x - 15. What are the x-intercepts of the function?

Answers

Answer:

x=6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

I got the x- intercept as 6.5 because I found the x value when y equals 0.

0=2+2x-15

Next, I added 2+-15 and got -13.

0=2x-13

Then, I added 13 to both sides so that I could have x by itself.

13=2x

Next, I divided 2 on both sides so I could find the value of x.

6.5= x

In conclusion, the x- intercept of f(x)=2+2x-15 is 6.5.
